Media and family

This mornings Washington Post reports:

:The man, John Mark Karr, 41, said publicly Thursday he was with the 6-year-old when she died and called her death "an accident," the Associated Press reported from Bangkok. "I was with JonBenet when she died," Karr, a former schoolteacher, told reporters in Bangkok, visibly nervous and stuttering as he spoke. "Her death was an accident." Police said Karr admitted to the killing after he was arrested Wednesday at his downtown Bangkok apartment by Thai and American authorities."

And

"Officials said that John and Patsy Ramsey, who were at one point suspected in their daughter's death, had been consulted during the investigation. Patsy Ramsey died of cancer in June but was told before her death that an arrest might be imminent, her husband said.

"Patsy was aware that authorities were close to making an arrest in the case," Ramsey said in a statement, "and had she lived to see this day, would no doubt have been as pleased as I am with today's development almost 10 years after our daughter's murder."

Well: "were at one point suspected in their daughter's death" is accurate and a gross understatement at the same time. There were YEARS when it was impossible to go to the grocery store without seeing 2" headlines proclaiming the Ramsey's and especially Pat accused of comitting the crime.

Reminds me of the movie "Absence of Malice." Wonder how many "journalists", "tabloids", and cable TV News airheads will be stepping up and apologizing now? Oh yea, they're too busy rushing for judgement on the next story. . .

And you think A-Rod's batting average "in-the-clutch" is low? These "news sources" make the weather forecasters look perfect!
